#00.4: [裏話] Back-story

"Shorts 2"

There was once a prince in the Akumu household that likes to wander around mindlessly, they called him "Zombie prince" as a joke, but those who called him that were never to be heard of again. His name is Akumu Hanzo, the only child of the king, his father wanted him to become the successor, but he wandered off before his father finished talking. One day, Hanzo met a woman named Sekaijuu Izanami and fell in love with her, in the human realm, they became close as classmates and friends.

On their second year of high school, Hanzo confessed to Izanami and got rejected, but he didn't give up. "He's really persistent, that guy" One of Izanami's friends told her. "Let him, it's not like I'm rushing things" she said as she blushed.

Her friends set her up with him and called it a [blind date], even Hanzo has no knowledge of what happened.

Another passed by, Izanami accepted Hanzo's confession and they started dating. But it didn't end well, Hanzo's father and Izanami's mother met the two of them together by chance and broke them apart by force. Hanzo could not accept that and sneaked out of the house to meet with her. Izanami then knew that she's dating the next head of the Akumu household and got [excited]

Every time that they meet, their parents get more and more suspicious, but thankfully, they weren't that suspicious of them until Hanzo became the new king, but Hanzo required a queen, he can't allow the public to find out about their relationship with Izanami and married another woman, even though Izanami and him are already married for 2 years. "I understand" Izanami said with a smile "Don't you go using that fake smile around me" Hanzo said in a sad tone.

Izanami comforted him that night. A few months later, Izanami gave birth to twins, one with a similar hair color to him [Black], and one similar to her [White] and decided to name them based on the color of their hair, the older twin, who had white hair, was named [Shiro] and the younger twin with black hair was named [Kuro]. But his black hair didn't stay for long

As Kuro grew, he learned to hate his father and turned his hair white like his mother's.

Shiro on the other hand became the crown prince of the Akumu household at the age of 5. Hanzo's second wife however also gave birth, this time, it's a girl whose age is around Shiro's age.

Hanzo, Izanami, Shiro, Kuro, Shirayuki [Shizuku's mother] and Shizuku had never gone to dinner altogether, not even once.
